Lucy?" I raise my head in alarm. "Lucy!" I turn to the familiar voice. "There you are!" I feel warm arms engulf me, pulling me, soothing me.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XGmpjs7mN
"Ray…" I choke out. Ray releases me and looks at my tear-stained face. He takes my hand and slips the blade from between my fingers, his eyes never leaving mine.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkJ7GhYiyn
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOXeUsZDfd
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oId0fBk8w
"Promise me something, Lucy." He looks back at me. "Promise me that you'll never cut again, OK?" I nod. "If you ever fall back to this place again, call me over. I'll help you, Lucy." He grabs my hands. "Promise me."802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBIU49ANLK
"I promise, Ray." I whisper, tears leaking out of my eyes. He pulls me into a tight hug, breathing out a sigh of relief. He kisses the top of my head and then moves back…802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbnkrq0efO
802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNYmfzQxa7
I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvpe2dqIvw
My blanket is hanging off my bed, my clothes are strewn across the floor, my hair is sticking to my wet cheeks and the window is shut, enclosing me in darkness.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zg134EKnM
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyLECqTUxQ
Fake.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn64zsfgLUF
Not myself.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEcqqgjsmz
The silver blade is shining, piercing the darkness with an evil light. It taunts me, challenges me, dares me to touch it, to pick it up and to use it.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwuOzGehXK
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmyCHDovep
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHixjQBHe4b
Help me, Ray! Help me!802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH4xZqYayE
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnoagvnSHu
Voice mail.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFn3AynYXm
I try again.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmlLWZlLHZ
No answer.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeVNtxONGe
I frantically pull at my hair, curling into a ball. I shut my eyes but a few lone tears escape. I shake my head, trying to pull myself out of my despair and trying, somehow, to pull myself together. I'm falling apart, breaking down.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLNQo5ZfLi
I can't. I must stay strong.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeRqzoZv7i
My tears come faster.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcpwJ8PwoE
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW0GMOTmhQ
"Ahh!" I scream, pushing myself back. I lose my balance and fall off my bed, crashing to the floor. I cover my face with my hands, shaking, sobbing.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0BBD16wAc
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCarvkQpXV
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFuvTsnW2E
Is it really that high?802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkbgsR8Bv0
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauMHlLS7J1
I must move… I need to move.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQmVdamqer
I eye the door.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGHLhYQeIj
I will myself to sit up.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6xE7QRg60
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx2GXU8FjY
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnhmM5gzUl
I focus on the door.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIuVcIE9n6
I crawl forward.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuBOj1PWms
I need to get there.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGE6XcXgEN
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fpetzF7Nc
My legs are wobbly, broken.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV09JXVtibC
Just a few more feet…802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFQfrIM2Ub
I reach out my hand and take another step-802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU9tXtm2OA
and collapse to the ground.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocJFfG9nnk
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREY5NUZDM7
I grab at my bed sheet, trying to pull myself up. I feel around, grabbing at anything I possibly can. I grasp closer to my blanket and freeze as I touch something cold. Sharp.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdssuh4okw9
I suck in a breath.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmbSyrOMXf
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9blw2LQvi
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP89UvWHPAu
Just once.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkYm8fRXux
"Promise me."802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DXZP6sqP8
"I promise, Ray."802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYYjUneFVR
No, I can't. I promised him.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR6NiMWRmr
But it'll feel so good…802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSrVrMxxn3
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCmY3Eb0cG
It'll be quick. Just one cut.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8jiZdQm7s
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyfBetNHre
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6s51VCNkW
Anytime, now…802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vcInc5C35
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdNHeeF8g5
Is it raining?802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0S8qR8hwo
No, that’s impossible.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4JyttbfWA
I can't see.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrDAKYJJ31
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwxFXlSFFU
I can't breathe.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8L6XP3Jhn
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFi9Yhe99r
What's poking my leg…?802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsu07Bxm7s
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsX65eKACh
How did it get there?802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UOlqLo2J5
I take it and hold it closely to myself.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYeXF567vQ
How can something so evil look so beautiful?802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMrP9ZgtE9
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUfPrK2JkO
So cold.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWRuohqOXj
I press down and drive it across my skin.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK2pFL9Yjv
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VuoWm5u0r
I take another breath.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaRDsz3ok3
Another.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gGMIrYqYa
My breathing comes harder, faster.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNbpqf67oy
I slide the blade and cut again, slicing more of my skin. I gasp, my arm stinging. A groan escapes my lips as the pain takes its place, the sick pleasure mixing in.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEQH0zGfKM
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQnpndqAkj
I shut my eyes tightly.802Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcXsYRuMbg
I should not have done that.
